This snippet comes from Sicario, book 2 in my World's End series. The POV is Lexan's and the scene is self-explanatory. Something bad is coming.
We both shifted up into the bed fully
clothed. As I placed my head on the pillow, Enzo switched off the light, rolled
over and put his arm over me. Sighing, I relaxed a little as I felt him close.
The need for him still shimmered in my body, but the need for survival
superseded the need for sex.
Neither of us spoke and neither of us
slept for an hour.
“You can sleep,” I said. “I’ll take the
first watch and wake you in two hours.”
“I’m not sure I can sleep,” he said.
“Try. You need the rest.” I turned
around to face him. “I’ll keep you safe.”

ReplyDeleteSweet scene. You can feel the love in that promise.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's nice --
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing more powerful and poignant than the line "I'll keep you safe." It captures so many emotions and promises. Well done, Kai.
ReplyDeleteThat last line just holds so much emotion.
